Wells Fargo Bank in Holmdel, NJ

The people there are so friendly and helpful. It's now my favorite bank!

     If you are colored  or have some shade to your skin color (not white skin), this branch (Well Fargo, Holmdel, NJ) may not be a branch to visit talk less do business with. By the way, I happen to have lot of friends of other color. Anyways, I went in there today to make a deposit to a family friend's account and the door was found locked. This was around 11am and it's not a public holiday. When I turned around to walk away, after taking  couple of steps away from the door, a lady came and open the door by unlocking it. She said something but I could not make out what she voiced out, I only guessed she meant the bank is open. Gently, as I made my way back to the door, "the door is broken" she said. I responded, "so why then would you lock the door if it's broken?". Well she lied of course judging from what I noticed afterwards.      When I walked in, after she had unlocked the door, the whole bank looked empty.  I turned around and asked her is the bank really open?She responded, yes! I thought to myself so where is everyone? To my amazement, within a matter of minutes, I saw people popping out from where they seemed to be docking, behind something. I guessed they must have taken me to be a thief. If he is dark skin (black), he must be an armed robber.       Thank goodness no police personnel came through to waste his or her time or perhaps harass me.       Who knows how many people of color have been treated this way. Although I was able to handle it after sensing their fear, l wonder if they ever thought about how I felt knowing what they temporarily classified me to be.

The staff here is very friendly. My family has been visiting this location for years. Back before it was a Wells Fargo. Their attention to detail and willingness to help is up there with the best.
